We've had three sets of twins born in less than 24 hours, plus a big (slightly stuck) single boy born yesterday afternoon.

More photos and a lamb report below. . .

We're all a little surprised.

Current lamb count: 23. Mamas: 11. Ewe lambs: 14. Ram lambs: 9. Sets of triplets: 3. Sets of twins: 6. Singles: 2. Pregnant ewes remaining: 9. Number of first time mothers doing an awesome job: 4 out of 4 (so far). Number of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies I had for dinner: just one big one, though I'm hankering for a second (but then I'd have to trade my glass of white wine in for milk, and I don't think I'm ready for that quite yet).

Hi Susan - Lots of cute lambs at your place this year! We only had two ewes bred, and have, as I told my friend, "four on the floor" - two sets of twins, 3 ewes & a ram - The Shepherd is over the moon with all the ewes - now he has to decide who goes - but that's a few months away - now we just get to enjoy the Lambolympics :-) T.

Is that Finny with her babes? They're so cute with their fuzzy noggins. All the lambs are cute, of course, but it's well known that I play favorites. Particularly with namesakes. Enjoy the Lambolympics, silly gal ;)

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.
